Must Haves: World Music
New Sounds throws its cap back into the Must Have Festival ring with another night of recommended recordings, this time in the “world music” vein. Sample works by Wally Brill, from his release, Covenant, which combines the sounds of Jewish incantations with ambient and dub-tronica, yet manages to be both intensely reverent and danceable. Also, hear selections by the Algeria-born and San Francisco-based DJ Cheb I Sabbah who has layered Sufi devotionals and ragas atop trancey warped swirls of drones and suffused them with innovative percussion patterns. Plus works by the rich-voiced Brazilian singer songwriter, guitarist and producer Celso Fonseca, Ethiopian soul singer Mahmoud Ahmed, and others.

Away From Jazz
New Sounds
airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this New Sounds, get a load of jazz musicians stepping away from the jazz tradition. There's music from punkass jazz melody-makers Gutbucket off of their latest release, "A Modest Proposal." Also, we'll hear from the latest by Matthew Shipp, called "Harmony and Abyss" and much more.
In Robert Moran's Kitchen
New Sounds
From October 30, 1989, the infamous "cooking show" with composer/raconteur Robert Moran. Recorded while cooking an Indian dinner in John Schaefer's kitchen, for reasons still not entirely clear. Along the way, we hear an "acoustic" version of Cage's 0:00 - for amplification of chopping vegetables and blender. And don't miss the teary conversation as onions are chopped. View the the recipes.
